Lyrics:
this suicide is a loving act
this body's waste in your living hands
put on the wake of aye oh so (x2)

i'd like to swallow those pills you've got (hold on)
i'd like to feel what it feels like not (hold on)
put on the wake of aye oh so (x2)

too much to say
six fifteen and no there's no way out
so just believe
we'll all feel better when they peel me off the ground

put on the wake of aye oh so (x4)

Boards of Canada didn't make this video. Its a Bicycle Safety video from the 60's.

Not to be a snob, but the video is actual a PSA form the early 60's, called , " One Got Fat" , about bicycle safety. It got the name because it is about a bunch of David Lynch esque monkeys go for a picnic, but get killed because they did not follow certain bike safety rules. In the end, one is left, and eats all of the other ones lunches. So, Boards of Canada, this band, and the many other non creative music video directors just used the same old PSA. They didn't make it, some gov. worker did.

[comitdinosaur9]

ture, but it was made in the 60's. People in th 60's were pretty sexist , so the chances of this being made by a women are slim. ( back then, they were expect to cook and clean the house, not be able to flim PSA). ;)

This is kinda of presumptuous of us,no? It could have been a female gov. psa worker.
